Can't find Jar file in default dir.

[Yoda_Java6]

I try to start a Java app this way:
java.exe -jar jeti2.jar

(Jeti2.jar is in cur. dir)

Result:

Error: A JNI error has occurred, please check your installation and try again
Exception in thread "main" java.io.FileNotFoundException: Jeti2.jar (File not fo
und)

at java.util.zip.ZipFile.open(Native Method)
at java.util.zip.ZipFile.<init>(ZipFile.java:131)
at java.util.jar.JarFile.<init>(JarFile.java:150)
at java.util.jar.JarFile.<init>(JarFile.java:87)

If I start it like:
Java.exe -jar K:\java1\jeti2\Jeti2.jar
App loads, but then fails l8r with some other problem.

Looks like this Java 6 switches away from curdir,
when it starts, and then can't find the app.

No earlier versions (1.31 1.41 1.42) shows this behavior,
when started same way.

After a little more testing......

My JAVA6 is installed on L: and app was installed on K:
After moving app to K: Java can suddanly find the jar file.

Java clearly has a problem with driveletters.

UPS

I meant .... after moving app to _L:_

Nothing like that here. Perfectly strarted Font2DTest.jar from drive C: while OpenJDK is on D: (both drives are HPFS, vanilla eCS 2.0). Please try to collect more details.

Also tried to place the .jar to an NDFS (SMB) share, works too.

Hi
I get when trying jeti.
[S:\Jeti]C:\PROGRAMS\Java6\bin\java.exe -jar s:\jeti\jeti2-inst.jar
SYS1808:
The process has stopped. The software diagnostic
code (exception code) is 0005.

If i don't use the s:\jeti\jeti2-inst.jar but just jeti2-inst.jar i get:

S:\Jeti>C:\PROGRAMS\Java6\jre\bin\java.exe -jar jeti2-inst.jar
Error: A JNI error has occurred, please check your installation and try again
Exception in thread "main" java.io.FileNotFoundException: jeti2-inst.jar (File not found)

Wish you all the best for 2011 :)

I see the same here, when doing so.
I'm attaching the log for this.

I tried same app. Copied it from L: where Java6 is, to K: , and then ran this script:
SET JAVA_HOME=L:\Java6
Set PATH=L:\Java6\bin;%PATH%
SET BEGINLIBPATH=L:\Java6\bin;
SET CLASSPATH=
SET SWING_HOME=
%JAVA_HOME%\bin\java.exe -jar Font2DTest.jar

Result:

I think you forgot to check Theseus.

I can reproduce your scenario here. I put same test app in a dir on Java drive,
and in same named dir on another partition. Start and close the first - then the second. Now the second works - but if you check Theseus - it is the Jar files from the Java partition, that is actually loaded - not the one from the other.

[Tapio_Angervuori]

I have the same problem: the program does not find any kind of files from the start-up directory!

[Silvan Scherrer]

i tried your scenarios as well, but for me it works. i start the app with the following script:

'set JDK=d:\programs\java6' /* should be full path to this directory */

'set JAVA_HOME='
'set PATH=%JDK%\bin;%PATH%'
'set BEGINLIBPATH=%JDK%\bin;%BEGINLIBPATH%'

Works ?

You checked with Theseus, that you actually ran, what you thought you ran ?

i start the app with the following script:

'set JDK=d:\programs\java6' /* should be full path to this directory */

What does 'SET JDK' Do ? No such thing have ever been used on OS/2, and there
is no documentation for such a setting in the release.

'set JAVA_HOME='
'set PATH=%JDK%\bin;%PATH%'
'set BEGINLIBPATH=%JDK%\bin;%BEGINLIBPATH%'

What on earth is that supposed to do, besides trying to kill the system ?

[Yoda_Java6]

System seems to reformat msgs a bit too much.
last comment should have been (hopefully) like this:

'set BEGINLIBPATH=%JDK%\bin;%BEGINLIBPATH%'

(not sure arrows are here, so I change comment..:)
What on earth is the last %BEGINLIBPATH% supposed to do, besides trying to kill the system ?

Neither LIBPATH nor BEGINLIBPATH nor ENDLIBPATH are ENV VARS, so result of %anyofthem% = (null)

[dmik]

Please don't be silly. BEGINLIBPATH/ENDLIBPATH are not environment variables but CMD.EXE emulates the variable-like behavior for them. You could at least check it yourself.

[dmik]

What about the rest, I confirm the bug. Thank you for your findings. Turned out to be hiding really well. Looks like Java always uses the CWD of its own drive instead of the current drive when resolving the relative paths (so that it works if the .jar is in both its own CWD and in the real CWD). I have a guess where the problem is.

[dmik]

This turned to be a bug in LIBC (​http://svn.netlabs.org/libc/ticket/237). I fixed it in Odin (MINIVCRT) since I already intercept _fullpath() there.
